B�rum (original) (raw)

The municipality B�rum in the county of Akershus, Norway, has 101,497 inhabitants as of January 1, 2002. Sandvika is the centre of B�rum.

Located just to the west of the capital Oslo, B�rum is in many respects regarded as a suburb of this city. Many technology oriented companies are located at Lysaker and Fornebu.

Although B�rum is in many eyes regarded as the archetypical wealthy suburb, B�rum certainly has a history and identity of its own. Like the B�rums Jernverk founded in the 1700s, see Lommedalen.

A local football team, Stab�k I.F, plays in the Norwegian premier league (2003).
